Rolson Drill Bits UK: A Complete Buyer's Guide for DIY and Trade
If you're searching for Rolson drill bits in the UK, you're in the right place. Klevaro carries the full Rolson drill bit range — from compact starter sets to comprehensive 100-piece kits covering every common material. Here's everything you need to choose the right bits for your project.
Types of Rolson Drill Bits
Rolson produce drill bits for every common DIY and trade application:
- HSS (High Speed Steel) bits — for drilling metal, plastics and hardwood. Ground to precise tolerances for clean entry and long working life.
- Masonry bits — tungsten carbide tips for brick, block, stone and concrete. Available individually and in mixed sets.
- Wood bits — including twist, spade and auger styles for softwood, hardwood and sheet materials like MDF and plywood.
- Mixed sets — the most practical option for general DIY, combining HSS, masonry and wood bits in a single storage case.
Rolson Drill Bit Sets: Which Size Do You Need?
Rolson offer drill bit sets in three main sizes:
- 25-piece sets: ideal for home users with occasional drilling needs. Covers the most common diameter sizes from 2mm to 8mm across HSS and masonry.
- 50-piece sets: the most popular choice for general DIY. A wider diameter range plus mixed material types make this the go-to for most homeowners.
- 100-piece sets: professional-grade variety. Includes spade bits, countersink bits, step drills and a broad HSS/masonry selection. Ideal for trades, builders and serious DIYers.
Compatibility and Shank Types
All Rolson drill bits use standard round shanks compatible with cordless drills, corded drills and drill presses from any brand — Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, Black & Decker and own-brand drills alike. SDS adapters are not included in standard sets but are available separately.
How Do Rolson Drill Bits Compare?
For everyday DIY tasks — hanging pictures, fitting shelves, assembling garden furniture, basic plumbing and electrical work — Rolson bits perform entirely to expectation. They're ground steel, not cast, which matters for edge retention. For heavy professional use on a construction site they may wear faster than premium-brand alternatives, but for the price point they represent outstanding value.
